MOUNTAIN VIEW: VOLUNTEERS REACH OUT TO ANIMALS

Dogs ‘raped’ in townshipTERESA FISCHER

WITHIN the impoverishedcommunityof Mountain View informal settle-ment, dogs are the helpless victims

of horrific acts of cruelty – including gangrape.“Many of them suffer unspeakable acts of

abuse,” says Jaque le Roux (20), a trained an-imal welfare assistant. He has gathered asmall team of volunteers to help the animalsinside this small community on the out-skirts of Ocean View.He says dog rape is extremely common in

poor communities due to lack of educationand drug abuse.Staffis are often chosen as targets for rape,

he says, “because they are muscular”.Le Roux says he has received phone calls

at 3am from distraught owners begging himfor help. He recalls an incident where therewere “three guys on one dog”, which hadbeen locked inside a shack.He says this incident happened last year

and adds: “I have been educating the com-munity as much as I can with a team to puta stop to it. It used to happen often, but hasdied down due to education.”Within a few months, from the end of last

year toApril, he has filled two fileswith pho-tographs of animals, mostly dogs, who havebecome the victims of gruesome attacks.Battered, bloody and bruised, one dog’s

stomach and intestines have been rippedout. Others have been beaten, kicked and inone case, stabbed 16 times.“It never ends,” says Le Roux, but adds:

“I am not going to give up.”He goes on to say cruelty doesn’t happen

every day, but every month something badhappens and he receives a call from the com-munity begging for help. “Since I have beengoing in there, the cruelty has been startingto die down,” he says.This Lansdowne resident uses experience

he gained at other organisations in what isoften a case of life or death.After rape incidents, the semen needs to

be removed, he says, as it can cause an infec-tion. One caninevictim, although safernow,wets herself whenever men approach. It isliving with its owner, but was attacked bysomeone else.He says the community are opposed to the

brutal rapes and are trying to stop it.LeRoux says: “With the community’s own

continuous struggle to survive, littlethought is given to the pets. Pet owners canscarcely afford to feed themselves, so oftencats and dogs go for days without a meal.When meals are available, they are oftenmeagre scraps or food that humans eat, likemealiemeal, which does not sustain or forti-fy an animal’s immune system.“In the midst of the turmoil and poverty,

are also cats and dogs, unable to speak, fightfor or care for themselves.”He says pitbulls are fed live puppies and

kittens to teach them to be savage for dogfighting. Some dogs are chained on shortleads or forced to wear collars with nails.But, walking with him between the

shacks, it is clear he has gained the commu-nity and the animals’ trust. People call outto him and dogs allow him to stroke theirears. He visits Mountain View several daysa week, sometimes bringing food for the ani-mals and the people.Sometimes he is threatenedwith rape, but

he says he does not show fear.Together with other volunteers, Le Roux

helps with food and bedding donations, ar-ranging sterilisations and immunisations.He says much has been done but to make

sustainable changes for the better they needhelp. The group urgently appeals to anyonewho either time to volunteer, or a tin of dogfood, bedding or money to donate to comeforward.SPCA spokesperson Lise-Marie Greeff-

Villet says the claims are of great concernand asks anyone who has knowledge of suchincidents to report this to authorities suchas the SPCA and/or Law Enforcement. Sheadds their inspectorate has opened an inves-tigation. Greeff-Villet adds the Cape of GoodHope SPCA, in association with Cape Na-ture, are currently planning an animal wel-fare outreach to Ocean View/MountainView. This follows recent incidents of vio-lence towards baboons. The SPCA is work-ing towards conducting a week-long out-reach in the communityduring theJune/Ju-ly school holidays, which will include amobile clinic.V Contact Jaque on 071 351 9914 or email jaque.ler­oux@yahoo.com.

SOUTH PENINSULA: CREATE JOBS, BUT PRESERVE ENVIRONMENT

Preserving a heritageTERESA FISCHER

THE penguin colony at Boulders Beachstarted off with three adventurousbirds.

Ward councillor Simon Liell-Cock sayshe was in his twenties when they waddledin, causing quite a stir.According to Liell-Cock the penguins

stayed because they discovered they wereprotected from their natural predators,namely leopard and rooikat.“Now we have a major tourist asset

which, after Table Mountain, has been list-ed as the second most memorable experi-ence by tourists leaving Cape Town,” Liell-Cock says.Together with funds from Councillor

David D’Alton’s ward allocation budget,and internal resources from the depart-ments of heritage and tourism, councillorLiell-Cock has also allocated funds from hisward allocation budget to commission astudy of the Far South’s heritage assets.Liell-Cock says tourism in the South Pe-

ninsula is growing by up to 30% every year,in a global economic downturn.He adds a conservative estimate of what

foreign tourists spend while in Cape Townis R2 000 a day and foreigners make up 85%of the total visitors to Boulders and CapePoint.He says: “If we can get them to stay just

one extra day that adds up to R1bn everyyear.“You can’t build a factory down here that

can compete with that.”This study will allow for informed deci-

sions to sustain and enhance our “greatestasset”, the natural environment, creatingjobs without degrading it.He is adamant the policy should not be

“jobs at any cost”.He adds: “We do notwant a Jo’burg by the

sea.”Having grown up in the South Peninsula,

he is passionate about all aspects of the FarSouth, but believes there is somethingmiss-ing from the tourism experience.“When tourists fly in they are offered a

one-day Peninsula tour in a bus whichwhips them past Table Mountain to CapePoint and back.“They are not participants, they do not

stay over and they do not experience thewonders of the Far South.”

He adds there is value missed in experi-encing the heritage, which could be organ-ised into a more interactive package, a tai-lored, integrated trip around thePeninsula.Liell-Cock says Peers Cave, the most sig-

nificant heritage site in the Cape Peninsulaand the only site where San rock art can befound, is neglected, dirty and vandalised.He adds until the Suez Canal was built,

the Cape sea route was the most importanttrade route in the world and whoever con-trolled Simon’s Town Harbour, therefore,controlled the world economy – making Si-mon’s Town the most strategic town in theworld.He believes this history could also be

brought to life andmentions examples suchas Imhoff’s Gift where vegetables weregrown to supply the ships, the GlencairnMill, where wheat from Noordhoek wasground, and the original hunting lodge onthe slopes of the Roodeberg behind Solole.The Battle of Muizenberg (1795) caused

the first industrial action in the country, hesays, adding the Khoi San had been recruit-ed to ward off the British attack and told toexpect rifle fire, but when the ships startedusing cannon fire, “they quite rightly de-manded more pay”.He adds the ocean is central to the herit-

age of the Far South and it enables the par-ticipation inmany activities – recreational,educational and economic.Visionary planning is crucial, says Liell-

Cock, adding roads need to be kept as openas possible.“Gridlocked roads will turn our tourists,

with their full wallets, away to other desti-nations which we compete with.”Long-term, he has big dreams.“Imagine we had the old cableway in Si-

mon’s Town rebuilt.”

THINKING AHEAD: Ward councillor SimonLiell-Cock has commissioned a study of theFar South’s heritage assets.

OCEAN VIEW: JOBS AND HOUSES FOR THE PEOPLE

Building on housing projectTERESA FISCHER

AN OBSTACLE which could havestopped a housing project in OceanView has instead become an integral

part of its success.The high cost of excavating rock from the

site (Erf 683) could not have been recoveredfrom the housing subsidy. The land had al-ready been subdivided for housing in thelate 1980s.

But in October 2006 the City and the com-munity initiated a proposal to remove400 000m² of abundant sandstone rock,which would be crushed to build stonema-sonry walls.

Local unemployed people are to be trainedin stonemasonry and will use this materialto build 543 resource-efficient affordablehomes.

The houses have been allocated to resi-dents of Mountain View, an informal settle-ment on the outskirts of Ocean View.

According to the City the intention is touse the construction phase to also developa platform for skills development in plumb-ing, carpentry and electrical installation toimprove employability.

Erica van Wyk (49) is one of the recipients

of a new home. “I’ve been waiting for 30years in Mountain View. I’m so glad, so ex-cited, I can’t wait to go in. I am very happyto be getting my house.”

Mayoral Committee member for HumanSettlements Tandeka Gqada said at a sitevisit on Tuesday the project prides itself asbeing the first of its kind in the country. Shesays it highlights training as integral to sus-tainable development.

Money that would have been spent on thepurchase and transportation of bricks canbe channelled into skills development, al-lowing for social and environmental objec-tives to be achieved without significant ad-ditional cost.

The benefits of stonemasonry include re-duced maintenance costs, as paint is not re-quired, and a longer lifespan when com-pared to concrete structures. If they are builtwith lime mortar stone masonry houses canlast more than 500 years compared to 30 to100 for concrete structures.

Watching the proceedings from a shortdistance away a small group of women out-side discussed the show house saying theywere “tevrede”, but added they felt the hous-es are too small. One woman, who did notwant to be named, remarked her furniture

would not fit inside the rooms.But for Jane Arendse (71) the days of en-

during life without water or a toilet in herhome are fast coming to an end. Arendse’sfamily was forced to move from Fish Hoek

and she is the first recipient on the waitinglist. “All we have to say is ‘thank you to theLord’.”

She looks forward to the day when she andher husband can move into their new house.

TMNP: ‘DOG FAECES A PROBLEM’

Plea for dog walkers to scoop that poopDOG walkers are urged not to ignore the

impact of their dogs’ faeces on the envi-ronment.

Table Mountain National Park (TMNP)spokesperson Wanika Rusthoi says almost100 000 dog walkers visit every year, adding:“It’s a rough job trying to keep the paths clearfrom unsightly dog faeces.”

She adds dog faeces is becoming an increas-ing problem at Silvermine and NoordhoekBeach.

Rusthoi says on a count along a 310m pathin the Silvermine section, 97 dog faeces werefound on one day – despite the presence ofclearly marked “poo bag dispensers” and des-ignated “poo bins” on the exact same sectionof path.

Some popular dog walking areas have desig-nated bags and bins, but other open-access are-as may only have a few bins.

In the central section of TMNP, “poo bagsand bins” have been provided as a trial at thestart of the track from the Silvermine Damparking and at Noordhoek Beach.

Bins are also provided a few meters awayfrom the bag dispensers.

These bins are cleared daily by maintenanceteams – and often, all sorts of rubbish are found

inside what are supposed to be designated fae-ces disposal bins only.

She says, like most areas of the TMNP, Sil-vermine is a bin-free environment – visitorsare encouraged to “take only photographs, andleave behind only their footprints”.

Bins provided are, therefore, only for faeces.Rusthoi says the discarding of other rubbish

into these bins could attract baboons and scav-engers, who could raid these and cause morelitter pollution and spread disease.

She says dog faeces carries diseases such astapeworm, E.coli and roundworm – all ofwhich can be contracted by humans.

Rusthoi adds bacteria found in dog faeces al-so seeps into mountainous water systems suchas rivers and streams – and because bacteriagrows in water, faeces can also reduce theavailable oxygen in water for fish and otherwater species.

Faeces also addsnitrogen fertiliser to the soilwhich increases the spread of nitrogen-lovingweeds to this protected area of vegetation.

Considering the number of dogs taken tothese areas, the local environment just cannotprocess the volume of faeces efficientlyenough. She urges dog walkers to think twicebefore leaving their dog’s faeces behind.

PICK UP SPOT: Poo bag dispensers are placed at the entrance to most of the populardog walking routes in the Silvermine section of Table Mountain National Park.

GLENCAIRN: NEW FACILITY UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Filthy loos tobe demolishedTERESA FISCHER

THE picture taken of the toilets atGlencairn Station paints a dismalimage.

The photo, taken by Pamela and RolfBrandt, was accompanied by a dare tovisit the Metrorail toilets.Discovering the filth, they informed

the health inspector, who also took pho-tos, which were sent to Metrorail.Rolf Brandt says one or two days later,

work began on the toilets.He adds the entrance to the old toilets

was bricked up and the sewerage systemwas unblocked. He says the new facili-ties make use of the same system.Metrorail regional manager

Mthuthuzeli Swartz says: “The stationfacilities were recently upgraded andthe old ablution block bricked up. Newshelters and ablutions were built.”Swartz adds it was unclear how access

was gained to the obsolete facilities andsays he requested Metrorail ProtectionServices and Prasa Cres, the facilitiesmanagement arm of Metrorail, to assessthe situation.“The process to decommission obso-

FISH FOOD BASKET: BEAUTIFUL AND BOUNTIFUL

Sense of pride for iconic bayTERESA FISCHER

INTERACTIONS betweensharks and humans are justone example of potential con-

flict between different users ofFalse Bay.

Dr Eleanor Yeld Hutchings, ofWWF SA, says this competitionfor resources often leads to ten-sion. Other examples are exploi-tation of fish stocks and waterquality issues.

In response to these challeng-es WWF in December launchedthe My False Bay campaign.Yeld Hutchings says it aims tobring together and instil a senseof pride in the bay’s many “icon-ic stakeholders”.

She explains their goal is todraw out messages from localsabout what they find remarka-ble about the bay.

A series of speakers presentedvarious topics on Monday andTuesday night at the False BayYacht Club, with Tuesday’sevent having been open to thepublic.

Professor Colin Attwood, anassociate professor at UCT’s Ma-rine Research Institute, present-ed figures of average fishingyield a year over three time peri-ods, noting the decline from anaverage of 3 016 tons a year in1922-1932, to an average of 1 640tons a year in 1985-2010.

This was in spite of increasedease of catching using modernmethods.

He says the overfishing of the

bay began over 100 years ago,but adds a common mistakemade by conservationists isthinking one can go back to thefigures when the populationswere at their peak.

Fishing, he notes, comparedto agriculture is “way more pro-ductive” in terms of producingfood.

An average Karoo farm pro-vides 340kg/m², yet False Baycan yield 2 200kg in the samespace.

Attwood adds: “Who needs theKruger Park? A lion eats a her-bivore which eats grass. In FalseBay a killer whale eats a dol-phin!”

Gregg Oelofse, of the City’sEnvironmental Research Man-agement Department, says al-though the City’s jurisdictionends at the high water mark, itdoes not make sense for govern-ment to work purely accordingto jurisdiction boundaries.

An example of an issue involv-ing the City is treated wastewa-ter, which ends up in False Bay.

He says a strong emphasis onlaw enforcement has alreadyemerged as a result of the cam-paign, adding he would like tosee this as the start of an ongo-ing process.

Tuesday’s speakers includedSA multiple freediving champi-on Hanli Prinsloo and JanineBasson, the manager of WWFSouth Africa’s Seafood Consum-er awareness programme(WWF-Sassi).

THANK God it is not planes, trains and automobiles, butonly Golden Arrow bus drivers on strike.

Cape Town – and Capetonians in general – can ill affordgetting to work late, nor having to cough up for escalatingpublic transport costs.

With the bus strike, the congestion nightmare on CapeTown highways is fast turning into the horror that is Jo-hannesburg during peak hour traffic.

Not that there is such a thing in Jo’burg.Traffic is awful throughout the day for the citizens up

north.It is hardly a desired effect that is the legacy of one per-

son to a car.While the taxi industry – and probably the railway serv-

ices – is smiling at the sudden unexpected windfall, thecommutershave tobe satisfiedwithanapology fromGold-en Arrow.

The bus company says there are “no winners in this sit-uation as passengers are inconvenienced, staff membersare not receiving wages, the company is not operating andthe entire economy is suffering”.

One wonders how it is possible for drivers affiliated tothe SA Transport and Allied Workers’ Union and theTransport and Omnibus Workers’ Union to demand an18% wage increase.

That was the first wage hike demand.But parties holding talks facilitated by the Commission

for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA)failed to reach an agreement last week.

John Dammert, the spokesperson for Golden Arrow BusServices, has said that unions have decreased their wageincrease demand to 13%.

And employers have upped their offer to 8%.The CCMA, however, has suggested parties settle at 9%.Meanwhile, the commuters are left hanging – or wait-

ing.

Masts: can’t have it both waysI AM also one of those who does not particu-larly admire these (cellphone) masts, but dorecognise their need and usefulness in thisday and age.

However, I wonder whether most of thosewho are now up in arms about them wouldnot be the first to complain about an unsatis-factory service. Also in all your publishedmatter I have not seen one suggestion to-ward a positive solution.

What happened in Simon’s Town confirmsmy point. In an imperfect world we some-time have to put up with aspects we may notpersonally like. The problem is that we alllike to have our cake and eat it.

All the misinformation generated by peo-ple who get their “facts” from the emotional

debates and not solid scientific evidence, on-ly further confuse the issues.

In a democracy we have delegated our au-thority to those who write the laws and seethat they are adhered to. Or have we becomeso lawless that everybody wants to do whatis right in his own eyes, like our taxi indus-try?

That would only add to the advanced stateof anarchy we already see all around us.Those we elected to represent us should alsoset the example of the rule of law – whetherwe like those laws or not – and not panderto the current mood, because they canchange tomorrow. Right? Let me leave itthere.P Gruner, Email

Ironies of the cellphone tower debatePEOPLE’S attitude towards cellphone use isironic. The majority of residents in FishHoek use cellphones, but are not preparedto put up with a cellphone mast in their area.

There are already two communicationsmasts in Fish Hoek – one at the police stationand another at the fire brigade department.There may be more that I have not seen.These also emit microwave radiation andare near residential areas and schools.

Radiation follows the inverse square law,so an object twice as far away receives onlyone-quarter the energy emitted in the sametime period. This means microwave radia-tion falls quite rapidly with distance.

Ironically cellphones are a source of radia-tion, which many residents willingly andhappily apply regularly a few millimetresaway from their brain (and) the ear, or keepin a pocket close to reproductive tissue.

In addition, parents allow their childrento have cellphones. Children are much moresusceptible to environmental factors thanadults because of their smaller bone and tis-sue structure.

Therefore, children will be more affectedby the radiation emission from their cell-phones. Smart phones emit even more radi-ation because of the amount of data they re-ceive and produce, and yet Smart phone useis steadily increasing.

In 2011 the International Agency for Re-search on Cancer classified radiofrequencywaves fromcellphones as a possible carcino-gen.

ASwedish study in the journalPathophys-iology (2012) concluded that existing stand-ards to protect the public from radiofre-quency exposure were inadequate.

It would be interesting to count the handsthat go up if I were to ask how many resi-dents sit near their WiFi transmitter anduse cordless phones in their home. Both aresources of microwave radiation at ratherhigh and continuous levels if they are notturned off.

On another note, I wonder why Fish Hoek“needs” a cellphone mast when cellphonesignals in Fish Hoek appear to be quite good.Clare Prosser, Fish Hoek

Your SMSes. Regarding the False Bay Hospitalgrounds. There was a successful market gar-den run by two hardworking friends ofmine. Two years ago a project manager fromSite 5, representing the department of agri-culture, got involved. From then on it wasall downhill. Funds allocated (just) disap-peared. Then followed an attempt to rent theplace out to others.

. What is wrong with Felicity Purchase?Surely getting a work team together to cleanup the hospital grounds should be priority!It seems she only rallies support if it is toher benefit. Wake up, Felicity, your title isnot worth the paper it is written on. Startgiving False Bay Hospital support. Shameon you! Mrs Poi

. Until about two years ago the groundslooked healthy and (were) green. Now, fac-ing the front of the hospital, viewed by pub-lic and neighbours alike, an ugly large con-tainer, shed and garden refuge dump isgrowing from bad to worse. Money wastedwhich could have been used to upgrade thehospital!

. I want to state emphatically that FalseBay Hospital is scrupulously clean and themaligned doctors are not rude at all. Thento Jandy Jacques, the garden you refer to ismature, no need to weed so much, listen tothe knees – just mulch, mulch and mulchsome more. Peter Voges

. I cannot agree with complaints regard-ing staff and cleanliness of False Bay Hospi-tal. They have always been extremely pleas-ant and helpful me. The attitude to staffcould be the problem. I have also never seenfilth. Velma

. We all want to see Fish Hoek clean andpretty. What we do see is an ugly, dirty con-tainer, shed and overgrown garden refugedump in the front of the hospital grounds –with not a soul on the site. What next, a fireor squatters?

. Regarding False Bay Hospital. I, too,had a near death experience. I arrived atemergency in a wheelchair, vomiting in aplastic bag, for all to see. There was no medi-cal help. Hello, doctors who cannot speakEnglish!

CRICKET: SA FINISH AS RUNNERS-UP

Young cricketers fallshort in MalaysiaLIAM MOSES

THE South African Invitation Schoolsteam have returned home proud, butdisappointed, after claiming second

place at the ninth annual Tuanku Ja’AffarInternational Cricket Challenge.

SA participated in the tournament forthe fourth time and would have been confi-dent of their ability to claim the title, afterlosing to Sri Lanka in the final last year.

However, it was not to be and the resultturned out to be a repeat of the previousyear, with the Sri Lankans defending theirtitle.

Assistant coach Ismail Teladia says theplayers lacked the big match temperamentto triumph in the final.

“Our players came short mentally. I don’tthink our players at under-15 level and,generally, at school level play enough pres-sure games,” says Teladia.

“The school’s league is focused on the 65over format that creates very little pres-sure on the players. There is no doubt thatwe have the talent, but we lack the mentalability.”

The under-15 tournament, hosted in Ma-laysia every year, features some of the

world’s best young cricketers from coun-tries such as Sri Lanka, India and Bangla-desh.

The SA team started their tournamentwith against wins the hosts and Singapore,and a loss to the eventual winners in thegroup stages, before scraping past India inthe semi-finals.

Teladia says the team let themselvesdown in the final, citing the players’ inabil-ity to deal with Sri Lanka’s array of fivespinners as the reason for the defeat.

“When you are playing in sub-continentconditions the opposition will normallythrow in two or three spinners. In localschools cricket the teams will usually haveone or two spinners,” he says.

“Our boys are not able to cope with it.There is no respite, so they try to hit them-selves out of trouble and lose their wickets.Facing regular spin is something our boysneed to learn.”

This year’s team featured players fromRondebosch Boys’, Bishops, WynbergBoys’ and one player from Spine Road Highin Mitchell’s Plain.

Wynberg’s Jesse Christians captainedthe side, with Rondebosch’s Suhail Whiteas second in command.
